A CAR was damaged after rivals football fans clashed at an under-12s game.

Parents of players from Morecambe FC youth under-14s and Bare Wanderers rowed during the match at Christie Park on Sunday afternoon.

When the game was over, one parent arrived back to his Mazda car to find that several hundreds pounds worth of damage had been caused to the body-work.

"The car owner sug-gests the damage may have been caused by a supporter of the oppos-ition," a police spokes-man told the Citizen.

"It beggars belief, though, at a children's football match."
